Since the arrival of Jill Wong from Howse Williams in April 2023, Reed Smith Richards Butler LLP has gained more visibility in the Hong Kong market, enhancing its ability to handle pan-Asian mandates alongside its Singapore FSR team. As well as drawing upon considerable experience in private practice, Wong’s in-house resumé, which includes a time at an investment bank and a major financial regulator, ensures that she can provide tailored and nuanced advice across a myriad traditional contentious and non-contentious FSR issues, as well as in the context of emerging issues including virtual assets. Matthew Townsend co-heads the team alongside Wong.
